You sound like a very down to earth person and some talent there on the sewing machine. I have enjoyed very much reading some of your posts and shall come back for a visit.

I think you fell off my blogroll maybe when Google made those changes months ago. Anyway, I'm back on track and just in time for an interesting post!<br /><br />I like how you have made organized and creative choices for your traveling wardrobe. I have seen the magazine articles where you switch out one or two pieces to make several looks. I remember seeing a spread on Pippa Middleton on her visit to NYC, and she had 2 pairs of shoes, 2 purses, red pants and a navy blazer that kept popping up in different variations! Genius. I wish I were that good. Rounding pieces up by colors is a fantastic way to go about it. See, I've learned something and hopefully I'll be traveling lighter in the future!<br /><br />XO,<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010530091767197216.post-14310070092247492972013-04-10T18:44:59.048+01:002013-04-10T18:44:59.048+01:00Just found your lovely blog over at Rosey Tinted S...Just found your lovely blog over at Rosey Tinted Spectacles.

I had ideas in my head when I put together my original travel wardrobe and then the number of other combinations that came to mind were a surprise even to me. Used to bees idea of printing off the photos is so good I intend to use it as I would never remember half of them without some reference..

They didn't fit properly and I had only worn them a couple of times but it was still a wrench. Sometimes we have to be ruthless! If you have a really honest girl friend have a night in and try on everything in front of her.

But the odd thermal and definitely thick socks do creep into my bag as well. I even pop a full petticoat under lined dresses! But this of course was a snippet of me dressed for visiting, today at home it is more likely to be jeans, long sleeved tee, fleece sweatshirt and thermal socks....and I'll be chasing the grandsons around!
